This month’s forecast sustains the over allotment and the remaining vouchers (163) to be filled for the remainder of the year of which 71 have been filled. The surplus increased $136K from $1.02M to $1.38M. Income Eligible: February forecast projects a surplus of approximately $4.1M for IE ($5.2M when you roll in Waitlist Remediation), a slight decrease ($300K) compared to last month of $4.4M. Vouchers: The CCRRs continue to fill the additional attrition backfill allotment in the Income Eligible account. As of March 29 th, the CCRRs have placed 1,876 of the total allotment (1,866) or 100.5%. Of the 499, 238 are attributable to three CCRRs that are over their initial allotment. The projection also assumes the placement of 225 remaining vouchers by the end of March for the three CCRRS that have unfilled vouchers. Contracts: The projected surplus is dependent upon the contract providers achieving maximum obligation or filling all their slots for the remainder of the year. Currently, of all contracts slots available (regular and flex), only 90.5% are filled. 2

FY14 February Caseload Review DTA-Related Caseload: After eight months of actual numbers, EEC is forecasting a surplus of $3M, an increase of approximately $260K when compared to last month ($2.7M). February billed caseload reflects a net decrease (318) when compared to January. Due to late billing January caseload originally reported at 15,116 has increased by 331 to 15,447. The change in January’s caseload offset an additional increase to the surplus by approximately $700K. In February, all age groups experienced a decrease. The increase in surplus is the due to the net change in caseload, the change in January, and continued decrease February.
